OT: Abortion

I have a friend who i have known for about 3 years now. The same amount of time her and her SO have been together. Well, recently they hit a big rough patch, and one night i guess decided (literally) to see what would happen had they not used protection. Well 4 weeks later she is pregnant, and they are not together.

She called me yesterday to inform me of the situation and told me blatantly she wasnt keeping "it". My first reaction was to cry. I have always been pro-life (if some of you are not on here i would appreciate no comments from you, this post is not to debate, but to ask for advice). and i guess now that i have a lovely daughter of my own i feel more for every infant. anyways, i spent over an hour trying to talk her out of it. She say there is no way she can do this by herself, and she would only want to do this if she was with him (seriously?) Some of the other moms and moms to be i know have tried talking her out of it and it seems like no one can get through to her, and of course the father of the baby is either way. Any advice on what i can say to help change her mind? i mean i know it is ultimately her decision but i cant stand to know the she will do that, and i know how having an abortion affects a woman afterwards.. Please only kind words... Thanks..

Obviously not an abortion video at 4 weeks. But at 5 months. When they're actually a baby.
My bf got an abortion an 7 months!!
And her reasoning was because the baby had too much fluid in the brain. So the baby would be slow. So instead of dealing with it and loving her babygirl regardless.. She decided she didn't want her anymore after carrying her for 7 months.
I tried to talk her out.. Put the baby up for adoption. She thought no one would want her. I tried telling her people can't have kids and want so bad to being able to give their love.
I know there's only so much you can do but it's worth a try to save the babies precious life.

Women all over the world get abortions. If she doesn't want to go through pregnancy an labor and then give up a child and even feels like she can't handle it on her own then maybe it will be a worse outcome

She has her own right to choose you cant force her to do anything. Leave her be

Offer to adopt the baby or drop the subject. If you're no more willing to take care of this baby then you have no right to judge her. This is coming from a mother who is 100% pro-life, I'm just saying that if it were me I'd offer to take on her child. If she still wanted the abortion then an abortion is what is going to happen.

im pro life..i hate the thought of abortion.....but i dont think you can talk her out of it.....adoption is a awesome option...but its not for everyone (icannot imagine giving a baby away to anyone but i also would never get a abortion) so im not sure bout whether you can push for adoption.....but i dont think you can talk her out of it too as much as that stinks.Â i guess try telling her that you will take the baby and tell her just please dont kill it(then youÂ could find baby a good home if you couldnt keep baby yourself) but maybe she would keep baby for you i have no idea. i think you need to realize you prolly cant talk her out of it but maybe talk to her about how dumb of a choice it was TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX..i mean what the hell did she think was gonna happen?

I think you should def talk to her about adoption. She could really help out a family that can't have kids on their own. It's so sad that she wants to snuff out a life that hasn't even had a chance to live :(
